If someone uses an older version of LMS, theyll just get the behavior theyve been getting for years, which is functionally correct, even if it consumes extra space and time.

What if when LMS (not MAI) synthesizes an ID (assuming the source being scanned doesn't provide one), it uses the name or a hash of the name instead of just incrementing a count (which is what I'm guessing is done now)? If my speculation is correct, then the original MAI would work without changes, and I suspect there would probably be other benefits to having stable ids as well. I realize that was all very speculative about what is happening behind the scenes, but does that make sense? mps's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36351 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99537 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Although based on your mention of MusicBrainz IDs above, I'm not sure my change is the right approach. What if we could put a stable ID in the database (e.g., MusicBrainz if found, and a hash of the artist name if not)?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music & Artist Information plugin
I just cut my Artist Picture Lookup time on a rescan by 90% (but I'm not sure if it is the right thing to do)! I recently noticed that Importer2::_precacheArtistImage -always- recaches the artist images during a scan. Further investigation showed that this was because the key in the imgproxy.db cache includes the Artist ID, which was changing on every full rescan. This leads to two problems. - imgproxy.db grows on each scan because all the old items are left in (I confirmed this with the DatabaseQuery plugin). - The scan is much slower because it can't find any of the cached artist images -even though they are already in the cache- To measure the performance effect, I modified the MAI ImageProxy cache to use the utf8-escaped artist names instead of the Artist IDs, and the ArtistPictureLookup time for 1287 artists dropped from 40 seconds on the first scan down to 3 seconds on subsequent scans! After making some small changes to CustomBrowse and TrackStat to use the new cache keys, things seem to work alright, at least in a quick ride around the block. Does my analysis seem correct? Is there anything wrong with my solution? I'm happy to share the code changes. Does anything in addition to artists in MAI use similarly unstable ids? In either case, I'm assuming the indefinitely growing Image Proxy cache should be fixed.

My library has hundreds of artists that are never found (almost exclusively classical), but MAI keeps trying to download them every time, which I suspect consumes most of the artist picture lookup scan time.

Now this is interesting. Even after I made my change, it looks like it
is looking for the right file but doesn't not find it even thought it
exists!
Here's an example where André Previn.jpg keeps getting added every
time. First, I added a logging statement to the loop in
Common::imageInFolder to print out the file that is being looked for,
Code:
foreach my $ext ('jpg', 'JPG', 'jpeg', 'JPEG', 'png',
'PNG', 'gif', 'GIF') {
my $file = catdir($folder, $name . ".$ext");
if (-f $file) {
$img = $file;
last;
} else {
main::INFOLOG && $log->info("$file does not exist"); # Added this
}
}
and it is indeed failing to find André Previn.jpg,
Code:
[21-03-06 21:36:10.2987] Plugins::MusicArtistInfo::Common::imageInFolder
(76) /share/Public/LMS/ArtistPictures/André Previn.jpg does not exist
But it doesn't find it even though it is there and is findable by perl
with -f
Code:
[\w] # perl -e 'if(-f "/share/Public/LMS/ArtistPictures/André
Previn.jpg") { print "exists\n"; } else { print "does not exist\n"; }'
exists
This seems completely contradictory. Am I missing anything?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Music & Artist Information plugin
Thanks, Carsten. I think I might have a more automated solution, but
it's "random perl hacking." The hack consists of adding one line to
Common.pm in the MusicArtistInfo plugin directory. If you're comfortable
modifying a perl file (after backing it up) I was wondering if you'd
mind trying to reproduce the fix since you've already reproduced the
problem. The change is in the bottom code block of this post.
*Background:* If I am reading the code correctly, the file names for the
Artist images are calculated in Imported::filename as
Code:
Slim::Utils::Misc::cleanupFilename(
Slim::Utils::Unicode::encode_locale(
Slim::Utils::Text::ignorePunct($artist)
)
However, when checking for the existence of the file, it calls
Common::getLocalNameVariants which doesn't have the same transformation
of the name in the candidate list.
*Fix?:* So I tried to fix by simply adding the same expression to the
list of candidate file names by adding the bolded line below.
Code:
sub getLocalnameVariants {
my ($name) = @_;
my @candidates = (
$name,
Slim::Utils::Unicode::utf8encode($name),
*Slim::Utils::Misc::cleanupFilename(Slim::Utils::Unicode::encode_locale(Slim::Utils::Text::ignorePunct($name))),
# Added this line*
Slim::Utils::Text::ignorePunct($name)
);
push @candidates,
Slim::Utils::Unicode::utf8toLatin1Transliterate($candidates[-1]);
# de-dupe results
my %seen;
return [ grep { !$seen{$_}++ } @candidates ];
}
and it seems to work!
Thanks,
Mike

I'm not sure what you mean by radios, but the problem is with playing your Google music library. There doesn't seem to be any way to play songs randomly from your Google music library in iPeng.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: New versions of erlands plugins
I have created a Dynamic Playlist (using SQL Playlists) that returns all of the tracks in a work so I can play an entire symphony, etc.. This works fine for the first few works but then I run into a truncation problem. Suppose I have a 4 movement symphony that is returned as track 9 of the dynamic playlist. Since the dynamic playlist seems to only remember the first 10 tracks returned by the SQL playlist, it plays the first two movements correctly, but then requeries for subsequent songs, missing the last two movements of the symphony. I'm sorry if this is confusing, I forgot to grab a screenshot when it happened. Hopefully the explanation makes sense...

So try it without the write permission. Hi Jezbo, Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, not quite there :( In order to make 1.4.30 work, I need to give write permission to persist.db-shm. As another note, when I run the MSI to install the new version, it tries to install it in the default location, instead of where I have installed.

That would be much appreciated. Multi-library lets you organize your
music in very flexible ways that you can piggyback. For example, when I
use muso, I see our daughter's music in my artist cloud (SBS is not
multi-user), which I generally don't want to see, so I just created some
libraries that only contain my music and browse them.
All that being said, I would totally understand if you didn't want to
support a 3rd-party plugin. I am hopeful, due to your already supporting
Erland's trackstat...
Thanks again for all your help,
Mike

I was thinking it would be cool if iPeng supported music visualizations. I sometimes get tired of looking at the album cover, and it would make a great screensaver (or even the right side of the main iPad screen when nothing is selected). It seems like it should be doable now that you have playback. I realize it would be a lot of work, but perhaps you could offer the individual visualizations as in-app purchases (I also wonder if you use enough of the ios music stack that something like audiogasm could work with it).

The problem with that page's approach to creating custombrowse menus is that I would have many different top level menus (e.g "Works by Composer," "Albums by Composer," etc.) What I want to do is be able to select a particular composer and then have the next level menu let me choose between Works, Albums, etc. More concretely, I want to have the following menu structure (among others) for my classical library. Composers Tracks Works Individual Works Albums Works Tracks For example, I would like to be able to click on "Bach," which would bring to a menu with just three elements "Tracks," "Works," "Albums." If I click on "Works," It will show me "Brandenburg Concerto No 1," "Brandenburg Concerto No 2,"... "Goldberg Variations," etc. If I click on Brandenburg Concerto No. 1, It will show me two albums: Academy of Ancient Music, Brandenburg Concertos I Musici, Brandenburg Concertos, Violin Concertos If I choose to play "Academy of Ancient Music," it will play the tracks for Brandenburg Concerto No. 1. If I drill into the menu, it will show me the individual tracks for it. Any suggestions for how to do this?

Being able to see and enter half-star ratings just by touching in the right place would be awesome! (I know you can enter 1-10 ratings in the context menu, but that does not have said awesomeness).

I was just thinking playcount and rating for a library, like for albums and artists (or do we do more for them?). -- mps mps's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36351 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92099 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Anyone want to help testing new TrackStat version ?
Just wondering if I could use trackstat for statistics on libraries like how much I play different libraries (i.e., rock vs classical). If not, would it be a difficult enhancement?

Whether it works or not, I appreciate the effort. I know you're dealing with limitations of the iOS architecture.

I nearly always use iPeng. However, there are two reasons I still need my controller. 1. To turn off the music when my iPhone rings (I can't access iPeng when the phone is ringing). IMO, this would be the most valuable enhancement you could make to iPeng (tho I don't know if it is even possible) as I would no longer need to ever use the controller. 2. However, my family would since they don't have (or carry) a smartphone all the time. It is nice to have a remote that stays by the stereo. Obviously, there are other ways to accomplish this, but since I have a Duet already, the controller serves an important household purpose. -- mps mps's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36351 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Anyone want to help testing new TrackStat version ?
The fix for the artist display might have broken Trackstat's song and album displays, which now all show the two line display. Since each song and album is displayed with an album thumbnail (unlike artists), there is no benefit to restricting to a 2 line display, so I much prefer the attractive 3 line display to the IMO cramped 2 line display that now appears with the latest alpha. I tried to attach before and after pictures, but this site is now telling me every image I try to attach (I tried a bunch of formats and sizes) is an invalid image. I can email you the pictures if the above description isn't clear.

I updated and now am seeing playcounts in iPeng (on a 2 line display). I'll confirm that playcounts are incremented in real-time once the kids are awake. One thing I've noticed is that just entering http://erlandplugins.googlecode.com/svn/repository/trunk/alpha.xml into my repositories causes all of your new plugins to be installed, even when not selected. The "Update plugins automatically" checkbox is cleared, so I don't understand why this is happening. I've never had plugins automatically updated in the past, so this is new behavior for me. -- mps mps's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36351 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92099 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
